Betting on the Indianapolis Colts
- Regular Season Record: 0-0-0
- Handicap: -8.5
- Moneyline: -400
- Over/Under: 46.0
The Indianapolis Colts begin this NFL 2022 regular season as one of the teams in contention to win the American Conference South division, a feat for which they will likely battle the Tennessee Titans.
Strictly in terms of numbers, the Colts’ preseason was not good, as they lost two of the three games they played, However, they left us feeling optimistic since they scored at least 24 points in each of those games and none of the defeats were by more than a field goal difference. Now that they’re playing at their maximum capacity, they will surely seek to keep up the pace.
Betting on the Houston Texans
- Regular Season Record: 0-0-0
- Handicap: +8.5
- Moneyline: +300
- Over/Under: 46.0
For their part, the Houston Texans had an impressive preseason, winning all three games they played, including the last one 17-0 against a strong San Francisco 49ers team.
However, the story in the regular season could change dramatically, with many having the Texans as the team that will finish with the most losses in the league. This is hardly surprising, as the team feels like one with too many unfilled holes on the roster, with the biggest of them being quarterback after Deshaun Watson’s departure. Add to it the team’s inability to bring in a strong replacement, and it will be up to Houston in this inaugural encounter to silence its critics.
JefeBet Prediction
The Houston Texans will sooner or later get a reality check and see that the regular season is something completely different than the preseason, and we think that could be as soon as this Week 1.
Despite their poor results, the Colts looked like a good team, and now that they will present their most competitive team on the gridiron, we believe they could do enough to win this game by a wide margin.
Prediction: Indianapolis Colts ML and Handicap.
